MEASURING LIQUID-DISPENSER.

Appn'cation filed February 1s, 1916. serial No. 79,106.

T0 all whom t may] concern.'

Be it known that I, ALoNzo N. 'Rosin a citizen of the United States,residing in Mount Vernon, county of `l/Vestchester, State of New York,have invented certain new and useful improvements in MeasuringLiquid-Dispensers, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to apparatus for dispensing liquids and beveragesfrom a container the outlet of which is directed downwardly and theupper part of which is vclosed against the admission of air, an exampleof such a container Vbeing an ordinary bottle turned upside down and Ishall employ the term inverted-bottle hereinafter to designate acontainer on the order referred to. It is a great desideratum indispensing and selling'a quantity of liquid drawn from a bottle to havesuch quantity automatically measured with substantial accuracy at eachoperation and to check the flow of liquid from the bottle with a cleancut-off and my present invention seeks to provide an apparatus havingthese characteristics as well as certain other peculiar features, all ashereinafter fully set forth and then pointed out in the claims.

l have illustrated types of my invention in the accompanying' drawings,wherein- Figure 1, is a central vertical section of my improvedapparatus mounted on a stand and with the respective movable parts innormal positions assumed'when a measured quantity of liquid stands inthe apparatus ready to be drawn off by the opening of the valvecontrolling the outlet.

Referring to the drawings, in which like numbers of reference designatelike parts throughout, 1 indicates a bottle turned up side down with itsmouth 2, resting upon a support 3, which in the construction shown inthe preferred form of the apparatus as shown in Figs. 1 to 7 inclusive,is cupby line, 5 0, in

, shaped with a central opening 4lin the bottom thereof around whichopening is an annular depression 5, in which the bottle mouth lits. Theopening d is extended laterally at two points G, 6 and the bottle mouthis at all times in communication with these openings. The arca of thelaterally eK- tended openings G being` quite contracted,

" lug 15, which is fixed upon the interior wall by the bottle mouthvalve 7, as indicated in Fig. 3. The bottle support 3 has its upper endflaring at 8 somewhat funnel shaped and it is provided with an externalflange 9 which rests upon the upper end of the exterior casing 10 andwhile the bottle support is held in place by its weight and may bereadily removed it maintains its position vertically at all times sothat its lower end remains fixed at a certain level within the measuringchamber 11, whichvis also cupshaped and the bottle holder depends withinthis chamber. l

The upper vend of the measuring chamber 11 is formed with an externalflange 12, (see particularly Fig. 5), Ywhich rests upon the upper end ofthe cam-ring 13, which serves in its up and down vertical adjustment tovary the vertical position of the measuring chamber, relatively to thelower end of the bottle holder 3, whereby the space between the lt'wovisaltered'and the capacity ofthe measuring chamber changedk accordingly.

vThe cam-ring 13, is mounted to fit snugly Vwithin the outer casing 10and has its lower` edge formed with a series of similar cani faces11,`each one of which rides over a of the casing 10, and has its uppersurface inclined'substantially lat the angle of the cam face 141-. Thecasing 10 fits snugly within a metal band or hoop 16, which is securedto the upper end of a stand 17, which is made in the form of a tripodand has its lowerend provided with a circular pan 13, in' which isplaced a removable perforated tray 19, upon which'a driking glass may berested. VThe cylindrical casing 10 is provided upon its exterior surfacewith a perip'h'eral'rib 2f), and the casing 10 being inserted within theband 16, is forced down within the same until the rib 2O makes contacttherewith so as to support the casing which at the same time may berotated horizontally by grasping it with the hand and turning it on theband 16. fi pin or stud 21 is passed loosely through a perforation 22 inthe band 16 (see Fig. 5), and extends tience loosely through thehorizontal slot 23 in the casing 1G, and thence through a vertical slot24 formed in the cam-ring 13. Upon the inner end of the pin 21 withinthe cam ring, is secured a fixed piece 25 and thev outer end cf the pin21 is screw threaded and provided with a thumb-nut 26, so that byturning the nut down hard against the hand, the fixed piece 25 willserve to bind the parts together and lock them in fixed relation andhold the cam andthe measuring chamber in adjusted positions. Uponreleasing the thumb nut 26 the casing 10 may be turned a slight distancein onedirection or the other and cause the cam-ring 13 to move up ordown, as the case may be, so as to adjust it vertically and when soadjusted the parts may then be locked together in order to maintain themeasuring chamber in its new VadjustmentY whatever it may be.

In Figs. 2 and 5, 1 have shown a scale 27 on .the exterior of thelcasing 10 andan index or pointer 28 mounted upon the stud 21; thisscale starting at zero is marked off in quarters, halves and full ouncesup to the capacity of three ounces and by turning the casing to thedesired point on the scale the measuring chamber is regulated in size tomeasure the corresponding amount of the liquid in ounces or fractions4thereof.

The measuring chamber 11, is provided at its lower end with fan outlet3A0 in which is placed an annularl pieceof suitable soft material 31,against which the vertically moving conical shaped valve 32, seatsitself, as indicated in Fig. 1. This conical vvalve 32 is in this formof the invention shown as combined with the bottle-mouth valve 7, whichhas hereinbefore been referred to. These valves are carried by avertically reciprocating carrier 33, which is cup-shaped and has itsbottom provided with a series of perforations 311, so as not tointerfere with the flow of liquid in the measuringchamber into which thecarrier projects and it is nested between the bottlev support 3, and themeasuring-chamber 11, and is preferably kept out of contact with theseparts to avoid unnecessary friction in the movement of the carrier. TheLipper end of the valve carrier, which is cylindrical in form, isprovided with an outwardly projecting flange 35, the outer face of whichhas a somewhat extended bearing within the exterior surface of the shell10, which serves as a guide for the sliding movement of the carrier. Theunder side of the carrier flange 35, is engaged by the upper ends of thelifting-arms 36, which extend from the liftingframe 3T, which liesbeneath the measuring chamber 11, and isV provided with a centralopening 3S fitting loosely around the downwardly projecting cylind 1icaloutlet 39V, of the measuring chamber. In the present eonstructionl showtwo of the lifting-arms 36 arranged diainetrically opposite each otherwith the lower part of each bowed or bent at 40, to provide an extendedarea sufli fient'ly extended in the lateral direction to readily beengagedby the upper' end of a drinking glass when placed` beneath vthesame and moved upwardly bv hand, the glass being -indicated partly in'dotted lines 11, inl Fig. 3.

The lifting arms 36, slide somewhat freely between the exterior surfaceof the measuring-'chamber 11 and the'interior ofthe camring 13, and alsothe lower end Vof the inclosing casing 10, as indicated in Figs. y1, 3,-6 and 7. The flange 12 of the chamber 11 is notched at 42, 42, topermit the lifting arms 36, to pass beyond the same in order to engagethe upper end of the valve-carrier 33, and the carrier is thus given afirm guiding bearing in its reciprocating movements.

In order to steady the upper end of the inverted hott-le l, I provide acollar 43, the outer part of which lits snugly over the eX- terior ofthe upper end of the casing l0, and is vertically adjustable thereon, sothat the central opening 44 which a downwardly extending flangeY 45,will lit the bottle neck snugly and thereby hold the bottle firmly inplace. ils the size of the bottle neck varies this vertical adjustmentof the collar enables it to be quickly fitted to the bottle neck whenthe bottle mouth is resting on its support 3, in its operative position.

The valve 7, which serves to cut off quickly the flow of liquid from thebottle, has its face slightly raised above the carrier 83, and is ofslightly smaller area thanthe bottom of the bottle-support, so that whenthe valve 7' closes against the under side of the bottle-support, asindicated in Fig. 3, a spare is left between the under side i'hisconstruction prevents the trapping of the liquid above the bottleanouthsupport and also provides a cushion effect, in the sharp closing,iovemcnt of the valve 7 in cutting eil'the flow. This arrangementprevents a portieri of the measured liquid being force-cl back into thebottle as would be the 'fase it the valve 7 were permitted to seatitself completely over the bottle-mouth. The lateral openings G, alsoinsures the level o? the liquid being maintained substantially at thelio'ttleunouth or the 'lower 'surface of the bottle mouth support.

Wach lifting arm 3G, has its free end proi with :flater-al projection36, which rests upon the upper edge of the camering 13, when the lil teris at its lowest point of its ran of vertical movement, and this retainsthe lifter in position and prevents it from dropping out of place, aswill be'understood from ll l. From Fig. l it will also be noted 't t thelifter nas a slight lost motion, as indicated by the space between theunder side of the flange 35 of the valve carrier, andthe ipper edge ofthe measuring chamberfll. Vrl`his causes the valve carrier to be quicklyraised when the lifting device is pushed upwardly.

ln the construction thus described, the normal positions of the variousparts are shown in l, with the outlet valve 32 closed on its seat. Underthis condition the liquid flowing from the inverted bottle will rise inthe measuring chamber to a point substantially at the level of the underside of the bottle mouth support 3, and when this level is reached theliquid serves, in a. manner well known, to automatically shut off theflew of liquid from the bottle and this level is maintained until theouter valve is opened to draw olf the liquid. By a predeterminedrelative adjustment of the bottle mouth support and the measuringchamber, a certain quantity of liquid incasured in liquid ounces willstand in the measuring chamber when the bottle mouth is automaticallysealed and this measured quanyity is quickly drawn oil.i by sharplylifting the lifting device 40, which may be done by placing an ordinarydrinking glass beneath the lifting' device and. pressing the deviceupwardly by the upper edge of the glass, This vertical movement of thelifter opens the outlet valve 52 and. simultaneousr;7 closes the bottlemouth valve 7, against the under side of the bott-lemouth supportthereby shutting' olf the flow of liquid from the bottle and permittingthe entire meas` ured contents of the chamber il to flow into the glassbeneath the outlet 30.

The capacity of the measuring chamber may be quickly changed by turningthe cam-ring I3, in the manner hereinabove described, so as to eitherraise or lower the cam-ring and correspondingly raise or lower theincasu'ing chamber ll, the scale on the exterior of the shell lilasindicated in Fig. 2 being used in making such adjustment. Thisadjustment varies the depth of the measuring chamber and consequentlythe capacity thereof.

the parts thus far described I prefer to make the bottle-mouth carrier3, the valves and the valve carrier 33, like-wise the measuring chamberll, other than metal, for example glass or suitable earthenware, whichmaterials will resist the action of certain beverages containacids andwill also give these pz. sired weight so that they will keep theirnormal positions by gravity.

The apparatus may be readily flushed out with clean water from aninverted bottle by lifting the valve carrier to a point at which bothvalves remain open, thereby permitting the water to liow around thevalves and through the measuring chamber and pass out of the outlet atthe lower end.

In Figs. 8 to ll, inclusive, I show modified form of the apparatus, inwhich the inverted bottle 50, has its mouth 5l resting on the cup-shapedsupport 52, over the opening 53 therein and the support is verticallyadjustable relatively to the measuring-chamber 54, into which thesupport de` pends. The upper end of the support 52, is rounded at 55,for receiving the shoulder of the bottle and is provided with adownwardly extending flange 5G which fits snugly over the upper end ofthe cylindrical I' or materials s a de! CID outer shell or casing 57,which is adapted to be held in fixed position in the 'supporting hoop orband 16, (see Fig. 9) which may be mounted on a suitable stand ashereinbefore described in reference to the preferred form ot theapparatus.

it cam-ring 5S, is secured within the flange 5G of the support 52 and isheld in fixed relation therewith in a suitable mauner. rlhis cam-ringhas a series of inclined cam 'faces 59, which slide over correspond ingcani surfaces 60, formed upon the upper edge of the outer casing 57. theexterior ol the flange 56' of the bottle support 52, and rotating it inone direction or the other upon the easing, the Yaction of the lcamsserves to raise or lower the bottle support and thereby adjust the samevertically in order to vary the capacity et the measuring chamber. 4Whenthe bottle support 52 is raised the level oi the liquid which standsnormally in the measuring chamber is raised, and in a correspondingmanner when the bottle support is adjusted .soy as to lower it, thelevel of the liquid in vthe measuring chamber is lowered and thequantity of liquid thereby decreased.

1When the bottle support 52, is adjusted so as' to give the desiredquantity of liquid in the measuring chamber, it is then locked to thefixed easing 57, by turning down the thumb screwl, on the threadedstud(32, which passes loosely through both the ilange 5G, oi the support andthe casing 5T, and provided upon its inner end with a lixed clampingpiece, G3.

rlhe measuring chamber which is cupshaped, slides vertically within thelower end oi the cylindrical casing 57, and has its lower end providedVwith a centrally located outlet 64 which' is'lined with a tubular pieceolf sott material G5 Jr'or the outlet valveb to seat itself against.rywlhe valve 6G is dome shaped and is secured by Ymeans of a nut (i7 tothe lower threaded end oi the valve stem 68 which passes up through theoutlet el.,

and is attached to the center ol a triangular shaped plate G9 which isprovided with three upwardly extending arms 70, which are placed equalvdistances apart and have their upper ends formed with downwardlyprojecting hooks 71, and which parts .Form a carrier tor the part G9,which serves as a valve for closing the outlet C22-, in the lower end otthe bottle support 52 when the outlet` By grasping WhenA the glasg- 11.5

shoulder 72, the measuring chamber 54, with its adjuncts and includingthe weight ot the measured liquidv is then'supported by the valve 66,its valve stem and the carrier 70, the hooked ends of which support thisweight upon the shoulder 72. This maintains the valve 6G, tightlyclosed.

'A set 'of lifting armsV 73 which are prelierably covered -with rubber74 are secured in radial positions at equal distances apart to a collar75 iitting around the tubular eX- tension 76 orn the outlet oi themeasuring chamber. This collar lits' tightly around the tubular part 7Gso as. to be held in place thereon anc the arms carried by the collararedesigned to be engaged by the upper edge ot an ordinary drinkingglass when the same is pressed upwardly beneath the outlet. By thuslifting the arms 73, the measuring chamber id is carried upwardly intothe position shown in Fig. 9 and its upward movement the upper end orthe measuring chamber engages and lifts the valve carrier inl order toclose the 4valve 69 against the under side oit' the bottle support 52 tocut eti' the tlow from the bottle while the outlet valve (56 is open.This movement serves to empty the measuring chamber of the nicasurcdquantity'o'f liquid into the glass below. removed, from Contact with thelifter, the weight otl the measuring chamber and its adjuncts will causeit to drop down into normal position, as shown in lVig. 8, and in thismovement to engage the outlet valve 6G and carry down with it theconnected valve vG9, ot the bottle mouth, so that a iresh quantity ofliquid can ilow trom the bottle into the measuring chamber and rise tothe level oit' the bottle mouth for another operation of the apparatus.

1n the modiiication shown in Figs. 12 to 15 inclusive, the invertedbottle 89 has its mouth 81 supported upon the bottom of the cup-shapedsupport 82, the lower end of which is contracted and made tapering asindicated in S3, and is provided with a central opening 84: in itsbottom and lateral openings 85 in its side walls at the bottom. Thebottle support `82 slides vertically within the liquid measuring chamber86, the lower part of which is contracted and formed with an outlet 87through which the liquid is drawn from the chamber. The outlet opening87 is provided with a washer 8870i suitabile soft material for receivingthe outlet valve 89 which closes upwardly against its valve seat. Thevalve S9 which is domesliaped is secured tothe stem 90 by means of a nut91 and upon its upper end it carries a valve 92which closes upwardlyagainst the under side or' the bottle support S2 so as to shut off theflow of liquid from the bottle mouth, as indicated in Fig. 13. A spiralspring 93V is placed around the valve stem 91 with its upper endengaging a lined part 9i of the valve stem and its lower end engagingthe valve seat. Normally this spring keeps the valve S9 tightly closed.

The upper end oi the bottle support 82 is provided with an externalilange 95 which in the ver 'cal movements oi the bottle support wn isspring mounted, engages the interior i the cylindrical shell 9G, thelower end of which is prov el upon its interior with a shoulder 97 and aring shaped'plate 98 is inserted between the enterior of the measuringchamber, and the shoulder 97 on the casing 96 and this plate receivesthe lower end of the spring 98"L which-surroundsthe bottle holder andpart of the measuring chamber and has its upper end in engagement withthe under side of the flange 95 oi the bottle sup port. A collar 99 issecured to the upper side or the flange 95 of the bottle support andtheneck et the bottle passes through the collar and engages the same, asindicated in the drawings. The device is operated by grasping the bottleand bearing down upon it so to compressV the spring 98a. This movementforces the bottle support 82 downwardly until it collides with the valve92, and the continued downward movement of the bottle support then opensthe outlet valve S9, thereby permitting the outiiow of the measuredquantity of liquid in the measuring chamber, as shown in Fig. 13. `Uponreleasing the pressure from the bottle the spring 9S'h1 forces thebottle support and bottle upwardly, thereby moving the bottle mouth awayfrom the valve 92, at the same time permitting the spring 93 to closethe outlet valve 89 on its seat, as shown vin Fig. 12. Under thiscondition the liquid trom the bottle Till flow therefrom and iill themeasuring coamber to the level of the under side ot the bottle supportwhich is practically the bottle mouth, whereupon the apparatus may againbe operated in the manner described for obtaining a like measured.juantity of liquid. Any liquid that may find its way into the interiorof the cup-shaped support and around the bottle mouth will readily passout through the lateral openings 85.

Upon the exterior or" the casing 9G is a broad flange 100 which isspaced a suiiicient distance 'from the casing 96 to receive between thetwo parts the upper end of the cup-shaped shell-101 to which is securedthe legs 102er the stand upon which the apparatus is mounted. rIlhelower end of the shell 101, is formed with a central opening at 103 lar'cam faces 106 which are formed on the` upper edge of the shell 101. Theparts 101, 10aL and 96 being secured together, when the ilange 100 isturned in one direction it will raise these oarts by means of the cams,together with the annular plate 98 and the spring 98n and the holder 82likewise the conta-ined bottle and this elevation oi. these parts willincrease the capacity ol' the measuring chamber. ."1 reverse turningmovement oi' the part 100 will serve to lower these parts and carry thebottle holderl down into the measuring chamber so as to reduce itscapacity. In this way a certain measured quantity ot liquid may beobtained by predetermined adjustment.

In making my improved apparatus I use glass or suitable earthenware forpractically all of the interior parts with which the liquid may come incontact with so that in dispensing diiierent kinds of fruit juices theacids therein cannot affect the apparatus and in this way the life ci'the apparatus is prolonged.

With this apparatus, the original bottle of well known beverages orfruit juices now on the market, may be used and this of course is or"great importance in dispensing such li nids.
